Discussion: The Malagasy carnivores have been problematic since their discovery. They have been placed in the Viverridae , the Herpestidae , and separated into monotypic families. Veron and Catzeflis (1993) and Yoder et al. (2003) provided the strongest evidence that all Malagasy carnivores represent a single radiation.
